Description

Scenes from a Childhood is a poignant and introspective collection of stories by Jon Fosse, one of Norway's most celebrated authors. This latest work gathers together fragments of narrative that explore the complexities of childhood, revealing the moments that linger longest in the imagination. Through his characteristic minimalist style, Fosse crafts a dream-like novella, 'And Then My Dog Will Come Back To Me', which builds to an inexorable climax. The texts gathered here demonstrate the short story as a recurring mode of Fosse's imagination, yielding some of his most striking works. This translation showcases Fosse's unique voice and perspective, offering a glimpse into the world of one of Norway's most celebrated authors.
